MacBook Pro is roaming 85-100 degrees oC even at BOOTUP!

[ShootingStars]

I tried:
SMC Reset
Apple Hardware Test: No error code.

I only have a FEW things on start-up:
iStat Menus
Outlook
Cinch
QuickSilver
CalendarBar

My MBP is 2010, 15", i7 2.66Ghz, hi-res.

Man... this is def. not normal, can anyone help me with this?

I did it, I see dock always at 100%... and I didn't even modify it or anything! I reformatted a day ago! ._.\

I can keep closing it and when it restarts, back to 100% again!

Googled around and found the answer! https://discussions.apple.com/message/15508906

Sorry for the hassle! Thanks for the help!

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? If so, is there a Parallels folder on the Dock?

glad it helped.
if you're running parallels, there's also and update you should download (from within parallels) to permanently fix this problem.
